Applied AI Researcher (India)

The role

You will design and run experiments, build training and evaluation pipelines, and ship research into production. This role involves model training, reinforcement learning, multimodal understanding, and knowledge representation.

What you will do

• Architect and orchestrate massively parallel AI research workflows
• Design, train, and iterate on models across the full GenAI stack
• Conduct rigorous research into model architectures, training dynamics, reinforcement learning, and knowledge representation
• Amplify expertise across NLP, computer vision, multimodal understanding, agentic reasoning, and domain science
• Build agentic research infrastructure
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and domain experts to integrate breakthroughs into the platform
• Document findings, publish at top-tier venues, and build internal knowledge systems
• Identify and design scalable solutions to eliminate workflow bottlenecks

Required qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field; or MSc with 4+ years of post-graduation research experience
• Trained or fine-tuned at least one neural model end-to-end
• Strong working knowledge of probability, optimization, and linear algebra applied to at least one of: NLP, computer vision, reinforcement learning, or information retrieval
• Experience building training or evaluation pipelines that handle real data
• Production-quality Python
• Fluent with Git and collaborative development workflows

Nice to have

• Experience with distributed training frameworks (PyTorch DDP, DeepSpeed, FSDP)
• Published at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, or equivalent
• Hands-on experience with post-training methods (RLHF, DPO, reward modeling)
• Practical cloud infrastructure experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure) for ML workloads
